AEQ Gain Equalizers Dielectric Laboratories / Knowles AEQ Gain Equalizers offer a small, cost-effective solution to gain slope challenges. The equalizers are utilized as a compensation circuit to correct for a loss slope created by other elements within a circuit, such as in amplifier stages. These devices address this issue from DC to 40GHz and deliver gain slopes from 1dB to 3.5dB, in a compact 0402 or 0302 package. The AEQ Gain Equalizers employ a monolithic construction with precision thin-film conductor and resistor films with proprietary high dielectric constant ceramics for superior RF performance and repeatability. These components are well suited for use with pick-and-place equipment, and are offered in both epoxy and solder SMT mountable packages.
